PO approval change

Hi,
In purchase approval hierarchy, Current manager (X) has been replaced by another one (Y). But X is still in the HR roll. Now all the approval has to go to Y. Implemented Position Hiararchy setup. Now after reassinging it goes to Y but X names is appearing as approver. When we sobmit it goes to X first then routed to Y due to vocation rule. How can this be changed so that the PO directly goes to Y not thro X. Both are listed as Managers by position.
thanks.

Hi,
Did you run Fill Employee Hierarchy program? If so please do it and let us know.
This program has to be run every time when an employee leaves or position changes.
Thanks
Karthik.

  • Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

    Hello,
    We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
    WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
    At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
    category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
    PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
    Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
    purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
    add a vendor.
    How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?

  • FA approver changes should not lead the cart to buyer

    Hi all,
    FA(Financial approver) changes the Product category, cart should not go back to buyers and if there is the change in Purchase types then  it should redetermine approvals based on new purchase types.
    In our current scenario, if FA approver changes the product category then it leads the cart to buyer for sourcing.so now the requirement is if FA approver changes the product category it should not leads to buyer.
    Please suggest your thoughts to proceed.
    thanks,

    Hi,
    Please check the BBP_WFL_SECURITY personalization key in personalization tab of PFCG or SU01 transaction.
    BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI is also available.
    No authorization
    Changes to the document are not allowed while it is being approved.
    Low
    Changes can be made to the document. The approval workflow is restarted after every change.
    Medium
    Changes can be made to the document. After every change, the approval workflow either continues or is restarted.
    The system evaluates the start conditions and restarts the workflow if a new approval is required as a result of the change. If this is not the case, the approval workflow continues.
    High
    Changes can be made to the document. The current approval process always continues. A new approval workflow is not started when the document is changed.

  • Approver changes in PPOM transaction

    Hi All,
    Please provide inputs on this.
    We are facing problem in which PPOM approver details are modified in produciton. Please let me know, how can I trace history of these approver changes. Is there any log maintained?

    If By PPOM you mean the HR org. structure I think they have change documents but that is a question for the HR forum not workflow, if you mean the changes to responsibility links to the users/org. structure, they are not logged by default but you can activate the change documents for them. see Change documents for workflow rule

  • Field type for approval change in shopping cart approval

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me where i define the type of field where i can choose a approver when i want to change the approver of a shoppingcart?
    Shoppingcart last screen before pressing order -> Approval preview -> press on the user who is to approve.
    Then a screen at the bottom comes with the oppertunity to search for initials of a new approver, i am quite sure i have seen this as a drop down box at some point.
    Is there someplace where i can set this field to be a drop down box instead of a search box?
    Best regards
    Lisa M Simonsen

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply but in this badi i cannot add approvers to any list are you sure your not thinking of the badi called BBP_CHNG_AGNT_GET?
    We used this badi to set the initials of the users that were in the drop down box (That now has disapeared) But now no users are sent to the badi. The badi gets hit when i put a break point in the code.
    I am quite sure there is some place this is customized up cos even if i put users in the exporting table of this badi the search box is still there and the users i added to the table have dissapeard.
    Best regards

  • Unable to go ahead with an approved change request.

    Hi experts,
                Iam facing an issue in Solman Configuration in Charms Scenario.We have created 2 users: Requester & Change Manager.We are able to successfully create the  change request. It is also successfully approved by the change manager(status authorized)
    When the Change Manager approves the Change Document, Solution Manager
    change the document to Authorized and Create a new Administrative Correction
    Document.
    The Change Manager open the Administrative Correcion (new) and should select
    u201CTake In Processu201D in the TaskList.But, when we click on the action button, we get the following eror message :"No actions in the worklist ".
    Roles of change manager(approver)
    Y_CM_CHANGE_MANAGER_COMP
    Y_CM_SMAN_CHANGE_MANAGER
    Y_CM_SMAN_CHANGE_MANAGER
    Thanks
    Imaan

    Hi,
    I believe that u have checked the red icon in the Administrative correction screen. Please ensure that there is no error existing, if yes, resolve it. You wll get the actions.
    If that is not the case, please assign roles SAP_CHANGEMAN_OPERATOR and SAP_CHANGEMAN_ADMIN to the change manager.
    This should resolve the issue.

  • JTF UM Approval has Serial WF Approval - change to one approver of a list.

    I have a request to change the vanilla CRM Approval flow which is set for serial approval - we currently have one person with the approval role. Is there any OTHER way to modify this seeded workflow by NOT modifying the vanilla approval workflow, eg, by using ad hoc roles, "approval group" or some other way.
    I don't want serial approvers, nor a list of all required to approve - just want one approver can approve or a group of say 3 approvers.
    Thanks for any guidance.
    Dan

    Clarify: One user from a list or group could approve - not the entire group has to approve.

  • PO Workflow is not restarted when changed by Approver

    Hi
    PO workflow is not restarted.
    Scenario (<= 100K 1approver, > 100K 2approver)
    Purchaser created PO Document > 100K so there's 2 approvers.
    1st approver - approves the document
    2nd approver - changes the amount to < 100K. Needs only 1 approver
                      - clicks on back to purchaser
    Purchaser - clicks change button
                   - view approval preview (approver 1 is displayed still marked as approved)
                  - clicks on back to approver
    What should be the system behavior?
    - Approver 1 inbox?
    - PO marked as approved?
    SRM currently passes the PO document to the 2nd approver's inbox. I've already set the security level to LOW but still the WFL changes doesn't trigger the workflow to restart.
    Any ideas?

    My initial thought is that this is brilliant. Approver 1 has already approved a higher amount, why would he/she want to be bothered again if the amount is lowered. So unless you have a specific requirement for new approval I wouldn't recommend viewing this as a problem. It's a feature to reduce the workload, you should charge a premium
    One thing must of course be checked: If approver 1 is different for a 1-lever approval than for a 2-level approval, the PO must be sent to the new person for approval.
    I don't know if this, i.e. different first-level approvers, is possible for PO approval, but I know it is possible for Release for Payment (FI).

  • SC doesn't go back to approver again after changed by requester

    Hello Experts,
    We are implementing SRM 5.5 with N step Item base approval (WS14500015) process for SC.
    SC created by requester goes to approver for approval. Approver Changes the price in SC & Approves SC. This SC comes back to Requester again. Requester goes into his inbox, change SC price back to origional & Save again.
    Now  Ideally SC should go back to approval again however in our case SC is getting approved  straight a way & PO is getting created in SRM ( Ex-classic Scenario)
    Wondering why SC doesn't goe back to approver again for approval?
    Any help is highly appreciated..
    Thnaks & regards,
    Chris

    Did you check the security settings of the creator.
    There are 4 options, depending on that the workflow is restarted or just continues if the user changes the cart.
    SU01 - personalization tab--> BBP_WFL_SECURITY - check all the options high, medium,low, new.

  • PO change version Approval/Rejection notification to requester

    Dear SRM Gurus,
    We are in stand alone scenarion of SRM 7.0 using process controlled WF.
    We have received an request to send out notification on approval / rejection of and PO change version.
    The PO's are created automaticaly from approved SC's and only the PO change triggers the approval WF.
    I've already checked the IMG: SRM server > cross application > Event and event schema for alert management.
    1. Define events: BUS2201 Purchase order is present with APPROVAL_PROCESS_DOC_APPROVED and APPROVAL_PROCESS_DOC_REJECTED
    2. Define event schema for obj. type BUS2201 event schema PO the APPROVAL_PROCESS_DOC_APPROVED and APPROVAL_PROCESS_DOC_REJECTED with subcategory event APPROVAL_RESULT_NOTIFIC_NEW are set to event category NOTIFIC Message.
    3. Define Recipient of notifications: PM Approve change version of purchase order - User Role CR contact person the options rejection and approval of application object are selected.
    The users I'am using to test are the same as those who receive notifications for SC rejection/approval so I guess it's not connected to SU01 or PPOMA settings.
    Still I don't see notification sent via SOST.
    Any ides what I could check next please?
    Thanks in advance for you help.
    Michal

    Hello Michal,
    did you give the event schema created to corresponding transaction type ?
    If you are expecting to receive notification during approval workflow, check OSS note [1395980 - No notifications of approval sent during approval process|https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=1395980&_NLANG=E]
    For PO, you can also check OSS note [1572957 - PO change version reject notification not sent|https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=1572957&_NLANG=E]

  • Auth check to who can change the defaulted approver

    Hi Folks,
    I have a scenario where I do not want the SC creater to be able to change the defaulted approver.
    I this done by a special auth. object. or anything like that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Thomas Midtboell

    Hi
    Do you mean default approver change during shopping cart creation?
    Standard SAP SRM by default doesnot have  'Change Approver' button activated for shopping cart creator.
    In your case if you find this active, then you can deactivate this using BADI 'BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW'.
    Thanks
